This crap has been going on for over a decade -- I remember Kaiser Permanente hospitals being held to task for this sort of intelligence-gathering for the antigun crowd in 1999, so this is nothing new.
However, now that healthcare is being usurped by our more and more centralized FedGov, a deeper danger exists now that did not before. I joke with my doctors nowadays, asking them "How does it feel to be a government employee now?". None of them like it. But caution is still the order of the day.
Once again we see how the statist left operates, in infiltrating and subverting previously trustworthy institutions to promote and advance their tyrannical agenda, while hiding behind a mere memory of what these organizations used to represent (in education and media for example). Which they must, since they never accomplish anything without first sugar-coating it with a sufficient layer of lies.
That is a brilliant insight.
Just another disguise. Whether it’s safety, mental competence or whatever else comes down the pike, the push to remove guns from Citizen’s hands never ends.
